Happy New Year to the main Troglodyte himself Austin!!! I’m looking forward to all the new unboxings and demos for 2022!! Take care!!!
Happy New Year Nathaniel.
@@sgt.grinch3299 thank you kind sir. I’ll see you in the New Year!!
Ditto
5:35 hey Trogly there seems to be an editing issue there. Much love man!
You forgot to edit in the weight relief Austin 😂😂
Right!! I was looking forward to seeing it!!
Honestly I was more entertained by the finger point followed by nothing than I would have been by the actual diagram which I'm just going to Google later for research purposes.
Amazing tone. I truly did not except it to be so good
Definitely picks up harmonics very good..sounds great 👍
Alright, the Kiwi Burst! I was looking forward to seeing this unusual finish. Happy New Year everyone!
Happy New Year Troglodytes!!!
That neck position sounds beautiful. You made some finger pinch harmonics that were killin' it, mostly done by touch, guitar practice and knowledge. Good news is the guitar and amp you used let us hear it well enough to know what it compares to.
Yeeeeeeee! I'm German and just because of New Year I can see this video straight after upload 👋😂 In German time zone it's 2:15 am🙃 Just wanna wish u guys a nice and healthy New Year! 🙌🤘
From Texas, Happy New Year to all!!! And.....Austin, Thank You for the information your YT channel gives us Guitaraholics!
Hey!! I’m in Texas as well!! What part of Texas are you in! I’m in San Antonio
@@nathanielvargas3863 I'm about 60 miles north of Dallas. Please to hear from ya!
@@guitarziz3994 lol brother you’re a lot farther than 60 miles. Happy New Year and may the guitar gods be forever in your favor
Happy New Year Austin and tysm for this review! I freaking love the Kiwi burst, it's what I wish the Anaconda was but man I'm right there with you on the binding...I know it's the mod collection but not only would some sort of greenish/brown binding made more sense than...blue, but it would have really finished the guitar off. What an awesome machine though!
Now that's a nice looking LP and sounds good to boot. Happy New Year Trogly Thx for all your great content also have to say over the years of watching you man you have come along way on your guitar playing.
With colour theory they prob just overspray all of it with the trans blue and that shades the guitar overall changing the org finish yellow center to green, the red to purplish brown and the white binding and inlays to strait blue.
Happy New Year Troglodytes! Wishing you all health, happiness, prosperity and many more guitar adventures!
No tour of the whole collection? Or is that tomorrow?
I dig the kiwi burst color. You and your family have a Happy Next Year!!
This may be my favorite "not miy" Les Paul, what a nice guitar Happy New Year All!
End of year with a sweet paint scheme. Happy New Year everyone.
Happy New Year Sarge
Happy New Year Sgt. Grinch
I was just thinking, the color of this guitar almost reminds me of Austin's Kiwi Ukulele he had a while back!
Watching this as my last video of 2021. I love the custom Les Pauls, they’re all beautiful in my opinion!
For me anyway, you saved the best for last. This was my favorite guitar on your show for 2021! Something about it just calls to me. Except the price tag. I could never afford one of these. But it's fun to look at anyway.
The unconnected ground wire is not suprising to me. I brought a 2021 P-90 Goldtop from the Mod Shop a couple months ago, and they put in 2015 era Alnico Slug P-90's (though the description didn't state this) into a PCB board. The ground would not seat firmly in the clip in connection on the PCB board, and one of the tone pots had the split shaft bent when I pulled the tone knob off to put different knobs on. I felt like I truly got leftover B-stock parts in mine.
The kiwi is also a bird native to New Zealand, so maybe they were referring to that and not the fruit?
It's a beautiful looking guitar in my opinion...Happy New Year, by the way. ☺
Yeah except the actual Kiwi (the bird) isn't green OR blue lol, it's brown
Happy New Year to you and your family Trogly!
Happy new year Austin! Looking forward to more excellent videos and reviews of new and 'semi vintage' gear. That kiwi burst sounds absolutely incredible what a great guitar.
I don't usually like the color green, but that guitar is gorgeous! I'd prefer the Floyd Rose version, but I'd also rock your example as is. It also helped me get a better respect for Gibson-branded pickups. That guitar gave more evidence of why Gibson's humbuckers remain the gold standard.
Hi - I bought one of the Bengal Burst Axcess LPs last week from the Demo Shop ($5199 - the one with the uncovered black pickups). The "mod" that was disclosed was that the 490R/498T pickups that normally come on the Axcess were replaced with Duncan SH-1s (also called the "59"). So, I was super concerned that they used the 4-conductor version of the pickups. Which they didn't, and also didn't disclose as part of the "mods." They did the same thing to you on this Kiwi thing - on the "stock" Axcess, the volume controls are push-pulls that split the pickups. When you took off the back plate, same thing as mine - braided wire and replaced pots. Which is probably when they missed connecting the bridge ground back up and misaligned the numbers when they put the knobs back on. I'm surprised you didn't catch that the pots were swapped out and functionality of the guitar was significantly downgraded. When I ordered mine, I was right on it through messaging in Reverb and some guy Andy got back to me without answering the question. So, I sent a much longer message after I actually got the guitar and now crickets. For the $300 reduction in list price, it'll cost me $500 to restore the coil splits. I might as well have bought a new one... Or maybe I'm thinking they could send me the right wiring harness and 4-conductor pickups... You seem to have good luck in dealing with these guys regarding parts.
And another thing - which was the same as yours - no multitool, no strap - for $5K, it would seem that they could afford to put those in the case.
If you have a contact there (I left a message on the Customer Service line after 30 minutes of hold time) I would appreciate it.
Thanks for listening (well, reading...),
Bob
They chose Kiwi, because marketing would not approve “bloody booger”
Ugly in the box.
man, if your boogers are that shade of green I suggest you see a doctor.
@@seanmckelvey6618
Lower intestine colour. Wouldn't have worked either.
Or just "fugly burst".
Gibson excelled in bad taste here. Green and red .... Fundamentally flawed colour mix.
@@marvinstorm9153 not sure about the “fundamentals” you’ve learned. Look at a color wheel. Green and red are complimentary.
😃I wish this had a kiwi bird on the truss rod cover ! Would have been cool with a Floyd like the Alex L. ones. 19:01 right there toucan see the blue over the black.😉
Happy New Year scottbogfoot!!!
@@nathanielvargas3863 10:05 pm here, countdown is on!
I miss Fender Fridays. Happy New Year!!
Thanks for another year of guitar information.
Sounds tasty.. looks great! Happy New Year, all the best in 2022!
Happy New years Trog, Thank you for blessing me with all this guitar knowledge while i play my measley 2020 Epi
Flying v 🙃
HNY Austin, I have to say I really liked this guitar. I am not a big Gibson fan. SG's, Flying V's, Explorers, Nahhhh Yuck .... I actually loved the colors on this one, and playing wise I liked the Van Halen tones. I think you got a good one there.
Sounding really good on this axe, Austin!
Love the binding.
Lovely finish, but idk about that blue binding. Interesting choice, but to me it it looks a bit weird with that green colour.
Love the green ...hate the blue .Happy new year everyone 🎸🎉🎉🎉🎸
I think the green is an abomination against those other colours, would have looked wicked in red and blue, there is a saying from the fashion world "Red and green should never be seen" and this is the only time I have agreed with that statement
Happy New Year! You're taking me back to New Year's 1986 in EnZed (New Zealand). The red-brown skins are edible, too, and like everyone I met in the private hostels, I did eat one dinner of kiwifruits and experienced the sit-down runout later as they were so inexpensive compared to US and Canada prices. * Is there a wax or some other formulation polish that would provide some anti-static protection against the dust attraction? That red and green is subtle enough for this Christmas season. I like it!
Happy New Year,
I really like these Access guitars, I think they’d look even better with split diamond inlays 🤙
Alright last one of the year! Here is to lookin at all the sweet guitars next year! Happy new year everyone!
Now thats what I call an awesome start into the new year! Keep it up Trogly!
Happy new buys and Gibsons Trogly.
This sounds so good distorted. Trogly’s playing has improved too.
Always amazed the content you produce and its entertaining as well.. Not sure about the color of this guitar myself but I''m more of a Lemon Burst Les Paul or even better a sanded down Black Top to grained wood like Mick Ronson's Gibson Les Paul Custom myself.. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Gold goes with green but i think black hardware would have really set it off! You can also rub a dryer sheet on it to help with the static
Happy New Year!
5:35 "apparently *this* is what they look like..." and nothing happens.
Austin, did you forget to edit in the picture of the weight relief for Axcess'? I sure would be interested in seeing that.
I looked to see if he explained that in the notes. I wonder if it was copyrighted?
Yeah wtf
Love the Van Halen! Happy New Year!
I love the finish and the blue binding. But they belong on different guitars. Together, they're just confusing to me.
Happy New Year! Don't know if you've already reviewed one yet. But I've been seeing these Gibson SG Zoot Suit guitars around and I'm really curious about them. Musician's friend has a few of them for sale in their used department. Thanks for doing what you do.
He has videos on all of them
great demo Austin. GREAT job on Panama
I see the blue as kind of the outline on the little stickers they put on fresh fruit which would make sense
I think they kiwi burst came after they painted over the original stain. I think that someone put the blue finish over a cherry sunburst, and then someone saw it and thought it kind of looked like a kiwi.
While I agree, New Zealanders like calling themselves kiwis and thier flag also has blue on it....just thinking.
I think you’re exactly right. Cherry sunburst with blue transparent over spray.
Interesting look. I like gold hardware. But I have to have gloss nitro finish on anything not a special or junior.
the binding really seems to pop. good stuff.
Trogly's been practicing :) The guitar looks like its meant for blue eyeliner and green fishnets... a nicheburst
I thought it was going for Reggae look or Men at work 80's stuff .Cruise ships special.
That guitar is a beauty
Happy New Year everyone 👍
Happy New Year, I love that guitar, it looks, and sounds amazing!
That might be the best sounding Les Paul you have ever had on this channel.
It genuinely sounded magnificent, I agree.
I was also impressed. Both clean (loved neck and middle) and dirty (bridge was amazing) tones.
beautiful green , the blue kind of reminds me of painters tape . happy new year from Canada
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Happy new year Trogly ! I was expecting a collection video this morning(im from eu) but still a good one ! Take care
Gorgeous blue color
Happy New Year 🎉 Very cool looking guitar
Have a Safe and Happy New Year!
Cool guitar, good review. Looks like your barn door is open. Happy New Year.
Happy new year Austin and all the guitar 🎸 people out there rock on 🤘👍👏
Love the comfort carves and that "Burst" is killer! Not a fan of the "blue" Widow treatment on this....I think it might have been cooler looking with red, to highlight that red if the burst.
happy new year trog, been watching for 4 years now. rock on guy
Happy new year, Austin!
Happy New Year Trogly (Austin)
Man I freaking love it bro , that's the best Les I've seen yet , I dig that blue binding hard man!!! And the all accsses is it, they need to start doing that to all Thier production guitars and modernize them some man, cause all the other top brand companies are stepping Thier games up cause that's what is players like man, Ann legend brands like Gibby should really think about what the modern player wants man or they might get left in the dust in the next day5 to 10 years!!!!
Happy New Year
Happy New year Austin. May it bring you the guitars of your dreams!
that was a normal cherryburst and they just sprayed blue, thats why the yellow turned into green, and the red just got darker
That makes sense
Love the guitar but I've never had an issue with reaching the upper frets. Granted I'm a new LP owner but I can easily reach the low E on the 22nd fret.... Maybe cause I'm so used to extended range bass necks...
I dig the blue on the headstock but it's too much on the binding and generally doesn't really look right with the green/red to me. Happy New Year!
Curious if the Floyd option adds weight to this, or does all the wood removed for the back cavity balance that out?
100% it adds weight.
@@Masterfighterx figured, the amount of wood to match the weight of the entire Floyd system, the majority of the guitar would end up hollow.
Yes!!! Attaboy trogley!! I think that’s the best playing demo you’ve ever done!! Sometimes you just gotta cut loose and play what ya like!!
I'm not a fan of the modern versions of the Les Paul, for a number of reasons but I go the same way with Fender. As out there as this looks, I'm really thinking I may want one, or the other one with the P90 in the neck.
Definitely without these pickups.
Happy New Year :) I own a LP Custom and have loved them since i started playing guitar 30 something years ago. That's the only one ever, i can honestly say i wouldn't want to own :(
Happy new year Trogly ! Strange but nice LP.
Starting to get a little more feel in your hands these days. Keep learning, keep pushing yourself forward.
Really like the Access specs, they're coser to the single cuts I'm building these days.
I appreciate the review on this one, but also wish that I'd never seen it. This is the most awesome looking LP that I've ever seen. I know, this combo isn't for everybody, but I friggin' love it. After much searching, looks like I'll have a hard time ever finding one. What did they make, like 5? I am more of a bass collector, but would love to have this in my collection.
Hey Charlie try taking some of that copper foil and shielding those pickups from each other and that might cause that dust situation to get a little more under control.
Happy New Year man and thanks for the videos! Do you know if there is someone who does videos for Fender the way you do for Gibson? I know you occasionally do others, but you're the Gibson guy to me. Thanks and be well!!
Wild. Looks and sounds like my brains custom shop. Thanks for sharing. Love it. Happy New Year 🎉💐
Austin, you really should go out and get yourself another 1W Marshall, this guitar would pair up really nice with a Marshall (IMHO).
Trogly I didn't see the diagram of the weight relief so guess I'll have to give search for it, but thank you for your content I really enjoy it.
What model is that LP orange fade at 15 seconds in?
Although the colors clash horrifically, I like it. Just cool to have a high end Les Paul Axcess with a funky load out. I have some traditional looking Les Pauls but I also have some funky ones (blue sparkle..etc). So I’m definitely not a hardcore traditionalist like most Les Paul beard strokers. I can appreciate the traditional look. But I’m also ok with unconventional colors and motifs. Cool guitar 🤘🏻
Interesting color combo. Cool guitar, though. Happy new year, Trogly!
How do you feel the finish with the back of your fingers?
Happy New Year! I suggest you should do an episode of guitars on video. On TH-cam, I just watched a BBC 1978 Bread special with two interesting Les Pauls.
I would have liked the zebra bobbins better if they were black/green or blue/green or something else but the black/cream combo doesn't really suit the rest of the guitar to me.
...loving that... I would rock that one.
How's the weight relief look on them ? It never showed up in the video
And what do you do with the beaks? I find them too crunchy...
(Happy 2022)
That bridge pickup review was rocking my world 😝
Agreed. I switched both of my Les Pauls over to the very early Burstbuckers that are unpotted.
I've tried 100 and 1 different pickups through the years and by chance got a hold of a early pair of the Burstbuckers and haven't looked back since.
To me who is a now an Australian Kiwi I am seeing a take on NZ bush understorey colour with Paua Abalone in the headstock. Think green bush surrounded in blue pacific ocean maybe.
